1 orange, segmented

1/2 cup blueberries

For the Coconut Lime Dressing:

1/2 cup coconut yogurt (or regular yogurt for non-vegan option)

2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)

Zest of 1 lime

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons shredded coconut (unsweetened, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Fruits: Start by washing all fruits thoroughly. Peel and dice the pineapple, mango, kiwi, and banana. Hull the strawberries and slice them in half. Segment the orange and measure blueberries. Place all prepared fruits in a large mixing bowl.

    Make the Coconut Lime Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine the coconut yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, honey (if using), and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey if desired.

      Combine the Salad: Pour the coconut lime dressing over the mixed fruits in the large bowl. Gently toss all the ingredients together until the fruit is well coated in the dressing. Be careful not to mash the fruit.

        Serve and Garnish: Transfer the fruit salad to a serving bowl or individual cups. Sprinkle the shredded coconut on top for garnish.

          Chill and Enjoy: For best flavor, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing tropical delight!
